Corteva Garlon 600 Tricolpyr

DIRECTIONS FOR USE ----------

RESTRAINTS

DO NOT apply to weeds which may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logged or drought affected), poor nutrition, presence of disease, or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.

DO NOT spray if rain is likely within 1 hour or if foliage is wet from rain and dew. However, when tank mixed with glyphosate, this time extends to 6 hours.

DO NOT burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for 6 months after spraying.

MIXING ----------

Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of Garlon® 600. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.

Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application:
Quarter fill the spray unit or mixing container with diesel and add the required amount of Garlon® 600. Add the remaining diesel and shake or agitate thoroughly to mix the contents. Periodically shake or agitate to stop product settling out. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.


APPLICATION ----------

1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS
Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to one metre high in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment.

A. High Volume Spraying

• Thorough coverage of foliage and stems to the point of runoff is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical.

Hand-Gun
• Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1,500 kPa.
• A spray volume of 3,000 to 4,000 L per infested hectare (30 to 40 L/100 m²) should be used on the weed infestation.

Knapsack & 12 volt Sprayer Packs
• Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as capeweed, horehound and saffron thistle. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to
treat woody weed infestations.


B. Aerial Application

• Apply in 100 to 200 L water/ha. Use a calibrated aircraft to apply in half overlap passes. Nozzle configurations should produce a COARSE spray quality at the target (ASAE S572).
• The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the
production of small droplets.
• DO NOT spray when wind exceeds 15 km/hr, air temperature is above 30C or in low humidity conditions (<35%).


C. Controlled Droplet Application (C.D.A.)

• Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm². Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with C.D.A. unit.


D. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques

• Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of the bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the
equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage.
• Gas powered gun : Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m² of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm² of leaf surface.
• Sprinkler sprayer : This technique involves using a micro sprinkler which is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pressure knapsack sprayer. Use
at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow sweeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage on the leaves.


E. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Treatment

• Mix Garlon® 600 in diesel. The use of diesel as a herbicide carrier may affect the rubber seals in some sprayers. To avoid this, use sprayers which use Viton seals and fittings. When using Garlon® 600 with diesel,
nitrile/neoprene gloves should be worn instead of rubber gloves.


Basal Bark Method

• DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Apply only with handdirected equipment such as a pressure sprayer or a paint brush. Spray equipment
should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid excessive splashing or drift. Species with old, rough bark require more thorough wetting than smooth barked
species. Liberally spray or paint the bark around the stem from ground level up to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated).


Cut Stump Method

• Stems should be cut less than 15 cm above the ground. Immediately apply Garlon® 600/diesel mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spray or painting the cut surface and sides of the stem.


2. CROPPING/FALLOW SITUATIONS ----------

A. Boom Application

• Application of Garlon® 600 in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Use nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality at the target (ASAE
S572). Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns.


B. Aerial Application

• DO NOT allow Garlon® 600 to physically drift onto desirable plants.
• Aircraft may be used to apply Garlon® 600 in fallow situations, when ground application equipment cannot be used due to prolonged wet conditions.
• A minimum spray volume of 35 L/ha should be used with nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality (ASAE S572) at the target are recommended.
• DO NOT apply Garlon® 600 by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 km/hr and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or air temperature is
above 30C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.
• Human flagging is not authorised unless protected by engineering controls such as vehicles with cabs.


CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT ----------

WATER-BASED CLEANING

Rinsing:
After using Garlon® 600, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

Decontamination:
Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with equipment that has been used to apply Garlon® 600, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali-based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flushthe system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.


DIESEL-BASED CLEANING

Rinsing:
After using Garlon® 600, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. On completion of spraying, use a degreaser agent to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer.
Rinse tank and spray through the nozzles with water to remove degreaser.

Decontamination:
After the above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent at 50 mL/10 L of water or the powder equivalent at 50 g/10 L of water. Shake or operate spray to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer and spray the solution through the nozzle. Rinse well with clean water to remove detergent. To clean brushes and container, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off thoroughly with clean
water and repeat using detergents (see above).

DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose.


PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
Crops susceptible to Garlon® 600 include, but are not limited to: peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, soybeans and other legumes; cotton, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp, potatoes, safflower, sugarbeet, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. Garlon® 600 is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment.

DO NOT allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops. When using Garlon® 600 and glyphosate by aerial application in fallow situations, observance of a buffer zone of 150 metres to protect native tree species is required.

DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray
to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.


PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away
from these plants until they have died down.


PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT:
This product is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

RESISTENT WEEDS WARNING
Garlon® 600 Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group 4 herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product andother disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in
any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva Agriscience Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability
for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Corteva Agriscience
